VOX AC15C1X 15W 1x12 Tube Guitar Combo Amp Black

Practice and band gigs

I don't get the appeal. Not at all......How can something that heavy, have 0 guts?

This is for the blue speaker AC15. I've never owned a Vox before so I took a chance on it. Great sound, it's a loud 15 watts, we have a loud drummer but this keeps up and will have no issues at gigs that are mic'd up. Really cuts through the mix, cleans are surprisingly excellent, but this thing really shines cranked up. We play mostly rock music but I imagine it could handle any genre. The alnico blue speaker is a must for me, I tried the greenback (it's good) just not my thing, the blue is louder, clearer, and more articulate. The only drawback to this, is that it's still a bit heavy for a 1x12, other than that I only have a great things to say about this amp and highly recommend it.

Top Boost classic channel, but don't overlook the easy use of Normal channel. Blue speaker is worth the bucks if you got it.

Wow, I can't believe I waited this long to purchase this amp. I've had the amp going on two years, gigging and recording. This model with the "Bluey" speaker is a must for clean tones. It takes pedals extremely well, no need for multi channels. My Tele with single coils sound excellent, my double-cut Matsumoku hollowbody with Gretschy pickups is tone heaven, my Les Paul just sounds awesome through this amp! There is no need for me to look further. I wasted so much money on other amp brands, but this amp gives me the tones I've been craving for years.

Absolutely beautiful sounding amp! Beautiful clean tones that sound like a bell being rung. It has this gritty overdrive distortion that sounds exactly like the intro to my generation with it all the way turned up. The one thing about this amp though... This isn't your typical amplifier. It does not have a full EQ. You get bass and eyes... That's it. Vox has this idea that if you are buying a Vox amp, Then you are buying it for those beautiful clean British tones. Do you want distortion? Then you're going to need a peddle ... But I'm telling you, the distortion pedal through a beautiful clean clear sounding amp like this is absolutely amazing! I use this for recording guitar sounds through a sure 57 microphone and it is second to none the very best amplifier I have heard at loud volumes. However this amp is a very Music specific amp. If you're going to have a repertoire of music that you were going to be playing, you are absolutely going to need a distortion pedal and an effects board! Keep in mind that there's also no line out on this amp... And no headphone out Jack... This thing is made for one purpose and one purpose only... And that is To be played very loudly. Both your clean and distortion channels have distorted tones in them with the volume past five. So there might be some times where you have to turn the volume down on your guitar... Again, in the studio this isn't a big deal. But live this is going to take some getting used to. Not a big enough deal to doc any points off but needed to be said compared to its competition
